Apple Approves iDOS 3 Following Emulator Rule Change

An anonymous reader shares a report: Apple recently rejected DOS emulator iDOS 3 from the App Store, but following App Store rule changes that look to have cleared the way for PC emulator apps, iDOS 3 is now available for download, developer Chaoji Li announced. In June, Li said that Apple had rejected iDOS 3 because it violated App Store guideline 4.7.

At the time, that rule was what allowed retro game console emulator apps to appear on the store, but Apple was only allowing retro game console emulators under the rule -- not PC emulators; UTM SE, another PC emulator app, had also said it was rejected for violating the rule.

But in July, Apple reversed course and approved UTM SE, and earlier this month, it added the words 'PC emulator' to guideline 4.7, which is seemingly why iDOS 3 has now been allowed on the App Store.
